User reviews

Hasn't had an update in years but still works fine, and does what it says. I know it's meant to be lightweight, but any chance of syncing the notes with Dropbox or Nextcloud?

Bad support for Chinese, and the theme can not choose black

Looks great to me. I'll use it to keep random notes in my browser and to write an MD file on occasion.
